Congratulations to MACH22 who were awarded the Grand Prize in Slash's Guitar Center OnStage contest sponsored in part by Epiphone and Gibson. Thousands of bands applied and MACH22 won the coveted slot of opening key dates on Slash's Apocalyptic Love U.S. Tour.

Among the prizes were $10,000 dollars worth of Epiphone and Gibson guitars. (Just in time for the TV Silver Collection, too!) Slash and the band are gearing up for a European tour that begins February 2, taking them Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovenia, Austria, and the Czech Republic. We are also hearing from reliable sources that the Conspirators are working on new music. We can't wait.
